You had very good response to imatinib. In July you had mouth ulcer now what is the situation. Still you had. It is not very good decision to stop imatinib until you had severe toxicities. And imatinib is not a drug to produce that severe mouth sore.in presence of very good response to imatinib change into 2 nd generation is not ideal. My advice to continue imatinb
